C
Explanation :
Depressive disorders are the most common mood disorders, affecting approximately 20% of the population at some point in their life. Anxiety disorders and bipolar disorders are also mood disorders, but they are less common than depressive disorders. Manic disorders, on the other hand, are not a category of mood disorders recognized in the DSM-5.
